Capcom Teases Game Announcement Tied to Resident Evil Movie

Be on the lookout for something game-related from Capcom around the time Resident Evil: Afterlife hits theaters.

Capcom may be planning to announce something new for the Resident Evil franchise alongside the release of the next Resident Evil movie. During an interview with Japanese site Nikkei BP (translated by Andriasang), Capcom CEO Haruhiro Tsujimoto hinted at something gaming-related to tie in with the September debut of Resident Evil: Afterlife.

"The 3D movie Resident Evil IV Afterlife starring Milla Jovovich is scheduled to hit theaters on September 10," the Capcom executive explained. "Timed with the movie's release, we'd like to do something to heat up the game series."

So what's in store for Resident Evil fans this fall? Could it be the announcement of Resident Evil 6? Perhaps even more DLC for Resident Evil 5? Maybe ports or remakes of older games in the series? We'll likely have to stay patient until September -- which, incidentally, also happens to be when the Tokyo Game Show kicks off this year.

At least is not cheesy compare to Street Fighter franchise movies.

I've been a Resident Evil fan since back in 1998. Yes the 3 Resident Evil movies is not exacly base on the game but this days many movies that are base on video games,comic books, & other books are not going to be the same as I mention. Many people complaine that Harry Potter & Twilight movies are not really base from the books. I wish that the first Resident Evil movie took place in the Mansion & played my Chris,Jill,Barry,Rebecca,Wesker, & other S.T.A.R.S. members that I forgot their names. I am very foward to watch the 4th Resident Evil movie on 3D. Like I said, I'm a fan. If the movie was directed buy crap director or "Uwe Boll", hell no I would not watch the movie!

i wouldn't be surprised if

1) its game play footage of the resident evil psp game , with info (title , characters invovled ect)

2) they announce a resident evil collection is being released the older games upscaled or even remade into hd games , with achivments / trophies , maybe extra added in. even resident evil 4 redone in hd with trophies/achivments would be nice.

3) the annoucment that resident evil 6 is being made , maybe dlc for resident evil 5 that take place between 5 and 6.

Personally

I would like to see a real version of the RE MMO style game they sort of attempted a ways back. I mean a fleshed out city where people could work together to escape if it was really fleshed out and you would randomly run into more people who were also working to survive. It just seems like a natural progression. not have it like L4D which was an arcade shooter but something more organic and deep and less scripted with limited rescources and more ingenuity needed.

Whatever happened to Resident Evil Portable?

Remember when Sony teased that Capcom was going to produce a new Resident Evil game for the PSP? That was at last year's E3, and we haven't heard a peep to back up that statement since. Maybe they're going to finally unveil it... if indeed it even exists.

This sounds strangley familiar.

Good fun.

As hilarious as the CONCEPT of "Street Fighter The Movie: The Game" was... it was actually a very enjoyable fighting game. People always seem to forget how good the reviews were at the time, and focus on the weirdness of the game's existence.

Oh no....

Oh my... a Game based on the movie which is based on a game... If the movie is crap or not good... what can we wait for a game based on a bad movie that also has the ability to kill every expectation of a good adaptation... Imagine an anime of Dragon Ball based on the Live-Action Movie... Hell No!!!!!!!!!!1
